Are you an Irish citizen? Or can anyone contact the Irish DPO because Google is “based” there for taxes or whatever? I’m wondering if I can use this as a US citizen.

Not an Irish citizen or a resident. Everyone residing in the EU(including EEA) enjoys GDPR protection.

I don't know how stringent the geo check for claims is, but as soon as you become an EEA resident you can invoke GDPR.

I would recommend to ask Google’s DPO anyway.
