  Hi. I am writing to inquire whether or not the contact form (https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/) available for pages at wordpress.com are secure.

  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  They are secure while using http – however the contact form is normally emailed to a person or persons – the email is not encrypted – so the email is the same as normal email (open text)

  So would you advise against using the contact form as a volunteer application with some personal and identifying information even though the contact form is published on a page of my site that is password protected and my email server is encrypted with SSL?
