How do I recover data after mistakenly entering someone else's Apple Account on iCloud?

I was tricked into entering someone else's Apple ID, and my device got locked. I’m writing this from a different device now. There was a button that said "Merge and continue anyway," and I pressed it. I’m afraid all my data will be leaked now.

Never ever log in to someone else's apple account. It is a known scam. Apple Accounts cannot be merged so your data is not merged, but you have to provide proof of purchase information and do an activation lock support request in order to be Able to use your device again
