What you should do in any data breach?
After you get to know about any data breach that happened and you were part of that platform, do the following things:

Change the passwords: Do not only change the password of that particular platform but also do change passwords for all the accounts where you used that same password. You can change your password for Promo from here.

Implement 2FA: 2 out of 3 websites these days offer two-factor authentication, why don’t you use that. I would recommend you to use the 2FA wherever possible.

Do not use the same password everywhere: Never use the same password on every website or service you use, because if one of your accounts gets breached it won’t affect your other accounts.

Use a password manager: There are many password managers available in the market that you can use like LastPass, Dashlane, etc. If you’re a privacy concerned person, go for Bitwarden(open-source).
