(a) An inquiry from any law enforcement agency that is investigating, prosecuting, or responding to an allegation of a violation of this article.
(b) An inquiry from an individual who is investigating or litigating an alleged violation of this article and who seeks the certificate regarding the individual’s telephone number or to an inquiry from the person who is responding to the allegation.
