Causes for a Privacy Error in Chrome

Chrome returns this privacy error when it can’t verify the SSL certificate of the site you’re trying to reach. SSL is a secure data-encryption method that keeps transmitted data private and safe. Chrome won’t load the website because it suspects it is unsafe. Several things can cause this SSL error. The site could have an expired SSL certificate, one that wasn’t set up correctly, or one that wasn’t issued by a trusted organization. There may be issues with a Chrome extension, your antivirus software, or settings on your computer.
