  1. the government agency has been dissolved or re-organized but no agency to succeed its business;
  2. the non-government agency has ceased its business or been dissolved but no agency to succeed its business; or the non-government agency has changed its business category which thus is inconsistent with its original purpose of collecting personal information;
