You are asking people to email personal details. This is most irresponsible. Thank goodness for Chrome for pointing this out.
It angers me, the fact that cowboys are allowed to develop websites with this type of insecurity.
The only way to handle personal information is to process the form on a secure server.

That's actually a really cool feature. I wish all browsers had this.
there is no problem filling in forms with personal details.

Correct, but do not use an email to convey those personal details.
It looks like your actual website is protected by a SSL certificate.

Protected is a relative term. How much encryption and insurance does one get from a zero-cost, 90-day ACME certificate? I mean something is better than nothing. But I wouldn't run a business on this.

There is nothing wrong with free certificates for websites which just request general information such as name, email, enquiry.
If its more sensitive information such as medical records anything to do with finance etc then one should invest in an upgrade SSL certificate.
Personally l think the need for a SSL certificate for low grade information is bonkers anyway. We all share that kind of information liberally anyway in profile's and directories which can be found all over the Internet.
Firstly I have to say I am sorry for the comments here and especially from some Adobe Profesionals. The comments have been quite attacking on the site and what your doing and while your initial post was way too short after you posted your link I do not think many of the comments are called for.
In terms of providing actual information for you while outside of the DW thread base but valid web based....
Chrome introduced the feature to help protect users and the warning for sites and forms was forced in October of last year. It can be for many reasons - NOT JUST FOR what people have said here and you can google a list of those.
You have an SSL but the form post action is not set correctly. Mailto needs an email and sending that information from a form via email has 2 main problems.1. Security
2. Size - You would not recieve all emails due to the attachments.
Trying to start a new business or step into the web to expand a business is challenging and initially costly. In saying that though the site will not attract many people or entice anyone to fill in those forms regardless of the security. It does not look like a modern website, inviting or something people would trust.
You should look to use a form service or save to server securly or just something like JotForms to get that data sent and stored safely.
Check with what legal requirements for your business and country in terms of what you are doing to ensure you have things like privacy policies and data safety all in place.
But there are many website building tools and services you can use that are low cost that would give you SSL's, secure forms and a more enticing website so it is worth looking into those.

What is different to what you are saying here and what I have been saying regarding emailing personal informattion. I do not apologise for making the statement under the name of security. At least I did not criticise the website.
