Region image used in

[ReimarG]

I need to know which country my sold images were used in.  Is there a way to find this out?  The Activity spreadsheet I can download does not have this info.  Thanks

No way, unless you can find the image in an internet search engine.

Adobe does not provide such info.

Why do you think this is important to know?

The transaction ends when an asset is licensed and you receive a royalty fee. End of story.

Besides, Adobe can't share customer details with Contributors for privacy reasons. Even if they did, you'd still never know what the assets were used for -- print, digital, textile/merchandise -- or where they were distributed by the client.

I didn't think it likely but thought I'd ask.  I need it for royalty payback schemes in some countries.  Of course, learning that an image was licensed by a book published in the UK (for example) involves no loss of privacy.  Thanks all for replying.

No.  Your financial agreement is with Adobe Stock (a U.S. based company).

You have no relationship with the customer or the customer's clients. That's as it should be.

I don't think you're getting it.  I make a couple thousand dollars a year on payback schemes based almost exclusively on data from Alamy and Getty.  They routinely provide the info I am looking for.  It's basic info on type of usage (magazine, book, newspaper, web...) and region (country).   Providing this information does not impact a customer.  Back when RM image sales predominated, this info was routine.  For RF, not so much.  But this has changed in recent years with these other libraries.  Since I'm making a lot of sales on Adobe now, I thought I'd ask again.

This user-to-user community has NO influence over Adobe's policies.

You'll have to take this request directly to the source at Stock Contributor Support.

The idea behind royalty free is that the buyer does not have to pay on a per use basis. With the inital licence, the buyer can use the asset according to the terms of the licence without paying additional fees. If you put your assets in the Adobe stock database, you agree on those terms.

The term ROYALTY FREE means that there is no royalty payback. It's as simple as this. 

[ReimarG]

Abambo, we're talking at cross-purposes.  Yes, RF means the customer doesn't pay for further licencing.  But Google "copyright payback schemes" to see that ALL sales, including RF, are eligible for payback schemes.

[Abambo]

No way to get that information.
