1. 1. Rules, criteria and standards for underwriting policies that are applied by an insurer.
2. 2. Plans or other documents concerning the marketing or strategic planning of an insurer or employer.
3. 3. Data, studies and reports concerning the development of new products or services.
4. 4. Data that identify the share of the market of an insurer within each class of risk.
