Budget and Control Board Web Site Accessibility

The Budget & Control Board attempts to make all of its web resources accessible to anyone with disabilities in accordance with federal law. If you have a problem accessing the content on this or any other Budget & Control Board web site, use the contact link on the bottom of each web page to notify us. We will then work to make the web page or feature accessible, or to provide the information in a format that is accessible.

Budget and Control Board Web Site Privacy Statement

This policy establishes how the Budget & Control Board will use information we gather about you from your visit to our web site. The privacy of our visitors is of utmost importance to Budget & Control Board.

If you visit a Budget & Control Board site...

  1. To read or download information:

    We may collect and store information for statistical purposes. For example, we may count the number of visits to the different pages of our site to help us organize them better for visitors.


  2. To send us an Email:

    By sending us an electronic mail message, you may be sending us personal information (e.g., name, address, email address), as in an official Freedom of Information Act request. We may store the name and address of the requester in order to respond to the request or to otherwise resolve the subject matter of your Email.


  3. To register:

    Some of our sites ask visitors who request specific information to fill out a registration form. For example, vendors looking for marketing opportunities on the Materials Management Office pages may be asked to "register" to obtain copies of Budget & Control Board opportunities. Other information which may be collected at these sites through questionnaires, feedback forms, or other means, enable us to determine a visitor's interests, with the goal of providing better service to our customers.


Because the Budget & Control Board is a public agency, information collected on this site may be subject to disclosure under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act. There are exceptions to the public's right to access certain records in order to preserve the privacy of individuals. Information collected by us, like information collected during an in-person visit our office, may be subject to inspection and copying by the public, unless such an exemption in law exists. In the event that there is a conflict between this Privacy Statement and a state or federal law governing the disclosure of public records, the applicable state or federal law shall control.

The Family Privacy Protection Act of 2002 prohibits persons or private entities from using any personal information obtained from the Board's web site for commercial solicitation purposes. A person knowingly violating this prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to the penalties specified in 30-2-50 (D).

In summary, regardless of the information being transmitted to the Budget & Control Board, we attempt to protect all such information consistent with applicable law.

For more information about these issues, contact Michael Sponhour, Director of Public Affairs, State Budget and Control Board (803) 734-0632, msponho@oed.state.sc.us.
