Privacy policy
This policy covers pdvisions.com, the PD Visions public-domain archive. It was last updated on 17 October 2026.
What the site stores
You do not need an account to look at pictures, sounds, films, or books. The site saves one preference in your browser: the language you chose, English, Japanese, or Spanish. That value stays on your device. The archive does not run a user database for browsing.
Pictures loaded from other archives
Many images are shown from the museum or agency that released them. When a page loads one of those files, your browser requests it from that institution. Their own logs may record the request. Files stored on this site, including the Art Institute pictures kept locally, are requested from pdvisions.com.
Visits
The site uses Google Analytics to count visits, the pages people open, and roughly where those visits come from. Google may set a cookie in your browser to tell a return visit from a new one. That measurement is described in Google’s privacy policy. You can block it with your browser’s cookie settings.
Advertising
The site does not sell personal information. If advertising is placed on these pages, the advertising partner may set or read cookies to measure and show ads. Google AdSense, if it is used, is described at Google’s advertising technologies policy. You can control personalized ads in your Google account and in your browser settings.
Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent through the address published for the site owner. The pictures themselves stay under the public-domain or CC0 terms named on each picture page.
