@socialstudiestx @WalterDGreason @HASTAC @Hardcore888 @JulianChambliss Hi there! It's not necessary to enter an email address to use Mission US (accounts can be created without one), and we've never collected any PII from students. We'd be happy to answer any further questions and hope you'll consider using the games again!

@KenP024 Sorry we didn't reply sooner! (We're a small team here.) The site outage was connected to the large Amazon Web Services outage last week, but was resolved later that day. Hope you've been able to get back on the site!
