There are several associations at international level that are involved in data protection. Here is one that you can use as a source of information and also for requesting support:
Privacy International
Privacy International (PI) is a human rights group formed in 1990 as a watchdog on surveillance and privacy invasions by governments and corporations. PI is based in London, England, and has an office in Washington, D.C. We have campaigned across the world to protect people against intrusion by governments and corporations that seek to erode this fragile right. We believe that privacy forms part of the bedrock of freedoms, and our goal has always been to use every means to preserve it.
PI is an active organization involved in both direct actions (such as law suites) as well as policy level ones (such as political activism for privacy rights).

State that the entity breaching privacy laws (yatedo group) is allegedly French and describe how your rights are not respected (see all our published posts: e.g. they have stored your information on a persistent datatabase in an undisclosed lcoation without your consent, they have gathered this information while yatedo did not even exist, they are using the information for lucrative purposes (to promote their business), there is no security policy available to protect your data, you do not know if they are sharing this information with other third parties (as a matter of fact you gave permission to LinkedIn NOT Yatedo!), they rephuse to cancel the information from their databases even after asking them repeatedly to do it). Request them to act by checking Yatedo and deleting your profile from their database.
Also, try contacting your national Data Protection Agency and request their protection.
