Hello DJ22,

Thanks for your concern about the "Your connection is not private..." error when loading up the website (davidcjacobson.com).  Generally speaking, the error is the result of efforts by Google to make sure that people are using SSL certificates on their site when asking for passwords, payment credentials, etc. If you go to a website that has passwords or requests information is not using an SSL, then it will be flagged in their Chrome browser.


I checked the site, and it appears that an SSL certificate was only applied yesterday, so it's possible that it was still be processed at the time, or your browser cache still had the unsecure page saved.  If you ever want to check an SSL certificate, try using an SSL checker. You can also see if the SSL certificate has been properly applied to a website by using a site called WhyNoPadlock.  
My tests indicate the site is using an SSL at this time.  If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.


Kindest regards,

Arnel C.
