(3) another department or agency of this state or the United States;

(4) the person that administers the unclaimed property law of another state, if the other state accords substantially reciprocal privileges to the attorney general of this state if the other state is required to maintain the confidentiality and security of information obtained in a manner substantially equivalent to sections 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, and 84 of this chapter;  and
