How to deal with leaked applicants data?

#1
I found my CV in a website's directory which is exposed to a public access by simply googling my name. Just like `https://veryinterestingcompany.com/wp-content/`. Next to my file there is about 900(!) other applicants CV with their names/phones/emails. I don't think it is right. I sent an email to them with quite clear explanations, but got a generic first line support copy-paste reply. Checked their job-application page, but there is no any information what their suppose to do with uploaded documents. Not sure who is a dummy here, probably is myself since it's just a form somewhere in internet, even though they have a page with promising active actions in case of data breach. What do you recommend to do?
