This website contains a film hosted by Vimeo. Depending on how the video is loaded and played, Vimeo may receive technical information, including your IP address, and may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own policies.

Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address in order to serve the font files.

We may share personal data only with service providers where necessary to operate and maintain the website or respond to your enquiries. Depending on the services used, these may include our web host, email provider, Vimeo and any provider used to manage the Collector’s Edition priority list or contact forms.

Purchases are handled separately by Pelckmans Uitgevers NV or the sales platform used by the publisher.

We do not sell your personal data or use it for advertising profiling.

Under the GDPR, and subject to applicable conditions, you may request access to your personal data, ask for inaccurate data to be corrected, request deletion or restriction of processing, object to certain processing, receive your data in a portable format where applicable, and withdraw your consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
