I got the e-mail today and just opened it, its too late now to opt out

Dear Valued Customer:

As you may be aware, Tower Hobbies' parent company, Hobbico, declared bankruptcy in January 2018 and has initiated a sale process.
We are excited to share with you that the RC brands and Tower Hobbies website that you have come to rely on over the years will continue. The Bankruptcy Court has approved the sale of Hobbico's RC business to Horizon Hobby, LLC. Horizon Hobby has been in business since 1985 and serves customers in the United States and around the World. Horizon Hobby also maintains a strong online presence and warmly welcomes Hobbico customers to its growing family. With this acquisition, Horizon Hobby looks to build upon Hobbico's great reputation for providing quality RC products to customers across the country. More information about Horizon Hobby can be found at https://www.HorizonHobby.com.
As part of the sale, Horizon Hobby is purchasing Tower Hobbies' customer databases. The Tower Hobbies Privacy Policy provides that the company will not share any personally identifiable information with any third party without your consent. Under this Privacy Policy, you have the right to opt-out of the sale and the transfer of your personal information to Horizon Hobby, and of receiving future e-mail or mail communications from Horizon Hobby.
You may elect to opt out by any of the following methods:

Clicking the link at the bottom of this email message;
Sending an e-mail to Tower Hobbies' web master at info@towerhobbies.com with the information necessary for Hobbico to identify you in its database and process your opt-out election (such as your name, email address, street address and telephone number);
Calling the Tower Customer Service at 800-637-6050 or;
Mailing to the following address:
Tower Hobbies
PO Box 9078, Champaign, IL 61826
Please include in your letter the information necessary for Horizon Hobby to identify you in its database and process your opt-out election (such as your name, email address, street address and telephone number). Please note that opting out will remove your proof of purchase data required for warranty service.
If you opted in to receive promotional emails from Tower Hobbies, you may also receive promotional emails from Horizon Hobby unless you opt out of having your information conveyed to Horizon Hobby.
Your request to opt out must be received no later than April 6, 2018.
After the opt-out deadline, Horizon Hobby has offered to conduct a sweepstakes for Tower Hobbies customers who decline to opt-out as a thank you for your interest. We thank you for your past patronage and hope you will always continue to enjoy the RC hobby.

Sincerely,
Tower Hobbies

Read the last line, they are passing my info on so they can continue to send me bullshit, that I throw out
 
I just noticed that the request to opt out must be received by April 6th- yesterday at the time I am writing this. I received this email at 10:37pm on April 6th and I was asleep. How do they expect me to opt out when they give me zero time to do so? Kinda shady.

At least you somewhat got yours in time. I got mine at 12:38AM on the 7th.
 
Given that Equifax had all information for every person in their database, will full names, SSNs and DOBs, stolen, Tower transferring your information to the new owners is small 'taders...
 
I don't really care that Horizon has my info. I've purchased from them before so they have my info anyway. But sending the opt out email after the due date is not a good way to start a relationship. Shows to be a well organized business.
 
I got one, don't see a difference on what corporate fat cat wants my money.....and on the off chance they can sell my info for profit, well good on'em:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

I do WANT a email telling whats going on with my super saver club though"thumbsup"
 
I got one as well from tower. But I didnt opt since I figured I’d end up ordering from them still regardless of who owns them
