Privacy Policy
Last updated on May 11th, 2025
Welcome to CHS Awareness. I’m a real person, not a big company. I do my best to protect your privacy and treat your information with care, but I’m only human. If you have questions, concerns, or spot something I could do better, please reach out — I want to get it right.
Who I Am
CHS Awareness is a passion project run by me, Timothy Suwityarat, who cares deeply about providing honest, stigma-free information and support for people navigating Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS). I’m not a doctor, lawyer, or a corporation — just someone who wants to help.

Kids’ Privacy
This site isn’t meant for kids under 16. If you’re a parent and think your child has shared info with me, let me know and I’ll remove it.
Third-Party Links
Sometimes I link to other sites or resources. I can’t control what they do, so check their privacy policies if you visit them.
