Lol, are you seriously not aware of temp email sites? What do you use when a subscription or internet service asks you for your email, do you give them your real email? Holy shit

Ok, basic data safety: you should have 3 emails -- personal, work, and a separate gmail for the legitimate services (electric, isp) you use, and give every other website should be given a temporary email. Examples of temporary email providers are guerillamail and cryptomail.

This is not run by the NPS. It is run by a for-profit media company whose privacy policy says they will use your email address to send you promotional offers. They also collect and share browser information and analytics w/ 3rd parties to feed targeted advertising.

That said, they don't seem sketchy and have opt-out options. I still voted and don't expect much junk to come from it.

edit: Looking into Explore.org more closely they seem to operate similarly to a non-profit and get most of their funding from grants and their parent non-profit Annenberg Family Foundation. They're still not a US Government sponsored initiative but their policies are very straightforward and geared towards education and pubic interest.
