YATEDO - a new unuseful, "going to die" service - DO NOT SUBSCRIBE

Why is Yatedo really unuseful and cannot survive without US, the people?
It's simple.
Yatedo is constructed like a fishing trap: they copied profiles from LinkedIn some years ago so they think you are going to subscribe in order to update your profile (by the way all this was done illegally, by private European citizens).

By subscribing you give them access to other information about yourself (you have to confirm who you are by giving them passwords to other accounts you have - usually LinkedIn, guess why? Because their profile about you is the stolen LinkedIn one). If you do so, they can steal more personal data and also your complete network (and steal data from your contacts). They do not have other ways to access your information (if you render it private), nor any 'magic' semantic engine to find information otherwise.

Their "services" are entirely based on your subscription and, ironically, on your own contribution! Thus, by not subscribing to their fraud services you are also contributing, in the long term, to closing them down naturally. Who wants an unuseful, outdated, invasive and disrespectful service?

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO YATEDO! Tell this to all your connections to make sure your information is not accessed through their profiles.

On the contrary, in the case you wish to have your profile removed, follow the
instructions we have given in our other posts (such as contacting the official French privacy service).

Where to find more help

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).

What can you do?Contact Privacy International and describe how your information was treated by Yatedo and ask them for action against it.

Professional opinions about Yatedo

Privacy professionals are supporting us with information and opinions about Yatedo. Answering our question "How can you protect your privacy from third party data aggregators?", Geregory McHugh, Assistant Director at Medicare Australia, points out the complexity of the issue.

Looking at the Yatedo site it can be seen that the entity operates from France, Belgium, China and an International site. This creates a problem in determining in which legal jurisdiction this entity operates and which Privacy Law (if any!) applies to its operations. The law needs to catch up on these extra jurisdictional issues. I think tighter national control of domain names is necessary. I believe irrespective of the nation the entity exists it must comply with the laws of the nation in which the domain name is registered. The next challenge is the development of an accepted international definition for personal information and laws restricting it's collection. As a profession we must push for these for these changes and the Yatedo site is an example of why this is necessary. Gregory McHugh 

The observation is a good one and underlines the need for International legislation and actions. Nevertheless, contacting the European privacy protection bodies should help out for the Yatedo issue as they are supposed to be a French enterprise (thus should be compliant with the European legislation).

Privacy Laws that Yatedo is breaking

DIRECTIVE 95/46/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
Excerpt from this law:

PRINCIPLES RELATING TO DATA QUALITY
Article 6
1. Member States shall provide that personal data must be:
(a) processed fairly and lawfully;
(b) collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes. Further processing of data for historical, statistical or scientific purposes shall not be considered as incompatible provided that Member States provide appropriate safeguards;
(c) adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purposes for which they are collected and/or further processed;
(d) accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that data which are inaccurate or incomplete, having regard to the purposes for which they were collected or for which they are further processed, are erased or rectified;
(e) kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the data were collected or for which they are further processed. (...)

What Yatedo is doing: collecting information for not explicit purposes and also not legitimate (as they use it for their own gain). The data is excessive, not adequate or relevant. The data is not accurate and it is not updated correctly. It renders all the information public without even checking if it is really pertinent to the person.

Some other sections that Yatedo is not respecting:

SECTION IV - INFORMATION TO BE GIVEN TO THE DATA SUBJECT - Article 10
SECTION V - THE DATA SUBJECT'S RIGHT OF ACCESS TO DATA - Article 12
SECTION VII - THE DATA SUBJECT'S RIGHT TO OBJECT - Article 14

Yatedo is breaking European privacy laws!

Yatedo is breaking European privacy laws! Do not let them steal your information and make a profit on it as it is illegal!
Here is some information about the privacy regulation:
The seven principles governing the OECD’s recommendations for protection of personal data were:
1. Notice—data subjects should be given notice when their data is being collected;
2. Purpose—data should only be used for the purpose stated and not for any other purposes;
3. Consent—data should not be disclosed without the data subject’s consent;
4. Security—collected data should be kept secure from any potential abuses;
5. Disclosure—data subjects should be informed as to who is collecting their data;
6. Access—data subjects should be allowed to access their data and make corrections to any inaccurate data; and
7. Accountability—data subjects should have a method available to them to hold data collectors accountable for following the above principles.

Yatedo: do not subscribe!

ATTENTION: do not subscribe to Yatedo hoping to be able to cancel your "profile", what happens is that they are asking for your passwords of other accounts and steal even more information from you!!!

Yatedo: re-invention of the wheel + extorsion

For years http://www.123people.com/ has implemented the same idea of business with four main differences:

1. The site really works
2. It respects the laws (for example if your profile is no longer public, they do not show it anymore)
3. They are not hoping to make a profit by blackmail or extorsion
4. They don't store YOUR information on a separate database: Yatedo, differently from the other aggregator services, takes a snapshot of information in time and store it apart! That's why you will find information that is NO LONGER on the internet: THIS IS ILLEGAL!
They store your information WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT and without any assurance on security! Any third party could access YOUR information!

zniber saad - partner....

This guy is a Linux "expert"...

Of course he has deleted his own website as well (http://znibersaad.com/) and his previosu business website (http://www.blogger.com/go.php?id=8176, open on 19-01-2007 and now closed), as he perfectly knows, like his fellow CEO, what their real business is and how annoying can be to have all your private information available to anyone.

Doulcet Pierre-Loic - supposed developer

This guy promotes himself as a developer for Yatedo, unfortunately he is in no Yatedo payroll.. well, you know how it works in this kind of things, right? ;-)

Anyway, he should know some Java, he has studied in China, he is interested in the social relation strategies ;-), so if you want to contact him: doulcet@gmail.com

If you want to discuss about Yatedo with him, he is really an open guy:

it seems he previously worked for ISART Digital as a stagiarie (not that now he has any official employment record..) but he just finalized his studies in Informatics.

aurélien de palma - VP of technical operations

This guys is still studying (he has still to pass the English exam...) but seems he's also a professor (??) at the European Institute of Technology (the same as the supposed developer or, developeur...).

As a matter of fact, all these guys went to China, officially to study... They actually are interested on how the Communist and totalitarian Chinese government is blocking Google and how to exploit these strategies to enter the search engine market and take a piece of the cake of the "controlling your life" new era business.

DISCLAIMER - We assure that all gathered information is publicely available on the Internet and we are 100% complaint with Yatedo policy (and intentions). Until Yatedo will be left open, we will continue publishing all possible information of these famous people.

Yatedo is stealing your information

YATEDO is a site that aggregates all the information it finds online about you and makes it public. And this is wrong for a number of reasons, including legal aspects.
If you have a profile on linkedin, facebook, twitter and so on, all the information is copied and republished on Yatedo. If you have a blog, or ever had a blog, a web site, or published anything on the Internet, you have a good chance to see it on Yatedo.
This is a problem as even if you set your profile not pubblic on the other sites, Yatedo will still keep it public on their side. Furthermore, if you update your information on linkedin, for example, this information is not going to be updated on Yatedo.

International privacy agreements and laws (such as the European Community privacy law) are concerned with exactly this: you should know what happens to your information, where it goes, who gets to see it, what they do with it, etc. These concerns are deep rooted in the tremendous history of WWII when such leaks of information were used to commit incredible crimes.
Moreover, the text you publish online, as any other text you publish in print, is protected by copyright laws. Even if it can be used by others online, it can not be used for making a profit on it without your consent. But isn't this what Yatedo does? By making a compilation of all your posts or texts and making them public, they are raising profits out of materials you ahve created.

Thus not only Yatedo is breaking privacy laws by not allowing you to control your personal information, they are even making a profit by not respecting your copyright rights!

The outrageus thing is that, even after requesting Yatedo to delete your profile, they are not doing it. The site works so badly (not to insinuate other consipiracy theories...) that one is not able to subscribe and delete their own profile!

What can one do then? For one thing, let's unite forces and request to close the site down!

You can follow our protest on twitter, facebook and linkedin, you can find us as Close_Yatedo.
