# Benefits

* Each state in the U.S. establishes its own threshold for reporting data breaches, with variations across all states. A prudent benchmark to adhere to is 300. By ensuring that each database generated by 00DB contains no more than 1 or 2 SSNs, you can remain below this threshold. It's important to note that individuals affected by a data breach must still be notified, although there's no obligation to inform the state or the press. For further details, refer to this link: (<https://bit.ly/45c83yx>).&#x20;
* Reduce computing and storage costs for non production databases.
* Prevents entire database from being exposed for testing
* Limited time exposure for sensitive data
* Limit # of SSN’s retrieved per day.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://weston-goodwin.gitbook.io/00db/getting-started/benefits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
