We have already introduced some of the dangers lurking in a Yatedo subscription, and here is another one.
When subscribing, Yatedo requests you to indicate your passwords for other accounts, such as LinkedIn. The rational is to verify that you are the person claiming to be, thus that you can claim your Yatedo profile.
The fact is that providing them with your password gives them access to other information about yourself and the other persons that are connected with you.
For example, if there are persons in your LinkedIn network that do not have a public profile, but that give you access to their profile as you are connected, their information can also be accessed by Yatedo and rendered public.
So, if you still want to try to subscribe to Yatedo in order to cancel your profile, consider that you are not only exposing yourselfe to even more privacy breaches but you are also exposing the persons in your network!
Protect your information and your connections' information! Follow the legal way and write to the privacy regulators in order to have your information removed!

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.
