Data Protection Officer (DPO)
BLOOM RISE MEDIA LLC, which operates DialoChat, is committed to protecting personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, and applicable U.S. state privacy laws. This page identifies our Data Protection Officer (DPO) function, its responsibilities, how to get in touch, and your right to lodge a complaint. It complements our Privacy Policy and Data Deletion Instructions.
1. Our Data Protection Officer
We have designated a Data Protection Officer function responsible for overseeing how we collect, use, store, and share personal data and for monitoring our compliance with data-protection laws. We identify this contact by role rather than by an individual name, so you always reach the person currently responsible.

- Providing advice on data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) where requested.

4. Why the GDPR applies to us
Although Bloom Rise Media is established in the United States, the GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) where it relates to offering services to them or monitoring their behavior (Article 3 GDPR). In those cases we apply the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy, including a lawful basis for processing, data-subject rights, and appropriate transfer mechanisms.
5. Lodging a complaint
We encourage you to contact the DPO first. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
- EEA residents: your local Data Protection Authority — directory at edpb.europa.eu.
- United Kingdom: the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
- Virginia residents: the Office of the Virginia Attorney General at oag.state.va.us.
- California residents: the California Privacy Protection Agency at cppa.ca.gov.
