You could file a complaint to the California attorney general

Does it matter if I'm not in California? (or even the USA?)

If YC’s processing of information fails to comply with the laws governing YC, a business operating in California, then certainly a report of mishandling is presumably of interest to California functionaries. Whether or not that is the case is something you’d have to evaluate using California law and a direct knowledge of the PII or PII-alike in question.
