What is EIP?

EIP stands for Economic Information Protection Request confidentiality.

Economic information protection is the process of safeguarding sensitive data that relates to the economy, such as trade secrets, financial transactions, market analysis, or business strategies. Confidentiality is the principle of keeping such information private and secure, and only disclosing it to authorized parties

There are different laws and regulations like the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that govern the protection and confidentiality of economic information, depending on the context and the jurisdiction.
