Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I used a 32 bit LaCie "Private-Public" application, to secure my most essential files, which I haven’t been able to access since installing macOS Catalina 10.15.
Many times, I contacted LaCie for help but they never responded.
Is there a way to run a 32 bit application without reverting to an earlier 32 bit macOS (10.14.6 Mojave)?
Thank you!

As for your current dilemma, it does appear you are going to have to create a boot drive or volume with Mojave or earlier in order to use that 32-bit encryption app from LaCie, unfortunately.
Perhaps you can use recovery mode to install a previous macOS version onto a spare external hd or USB stick. Please have a look at the section "Other macOS installation options" in this support document:

I will also say no. Incidentally, was that LaCie app one that they provided for disk formatting, etc? If so, I've found that those apps are nothing but problematic and should not be used. Stay with Apple's Disk Utility app.
LaCie has sent Private-Public to the dustbin of history. There will never be a 64 bit version.

No.
Is there a way to run a 32 bit application after macOS 10.15 Catalina?
