I went through their site. It is entirely unclear from their short form license, faq, etc.

I always presume that, if something is free to the user, you are the product. Exceptions for open source projects, which pixabay doesn't appear to be.

they have istock sponsored photos interspliced with theirs so monetary compensation for this site comes from sponsorship and affiliates.
