For the avoidance of doubt, both situations described in this section fall within the scope of, and are covered by, this DPA.
2. General Obligations. Idera will process Customer Personal Data in compliance with Applicable Law at all times. Subject to Applicable Law, Idera will not disclose Customer Personal Data to any third party without first obtaining Customer’s written consent, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

Idera’s Subprocessors are listed on the Idera Affiliates Processing Terms. Idera shall maintain an updated the list of Subprocessors.
  
  Idera shall provide Customer prior written notice of the appointment of any new Subprocessor.

Idera shall remain responsible for the Processing of the Customer Personal Data until the termination or expiration of the Main Agreement.
  
  With respect to each Subprocessor, Idera shall: (a) carry out adequate due diligence to ensure that the Subprocessor is capable of providing the level of protection and security for Customer Personal Data required by this DPA, the Main Agreement, and Applicable Laws before the Subprocessor first Processes Customer Personal Data impose on the Subprocessor terms between Idera and the prospective Subprocessor that provide for at least the same level of protection for Customer Personal Data as those set out in this DPA.
6. Personnel. Idera shall take reasonable steps to ensure the reliability of all personnel who may have access to the Customer Personal Data. Furthermore, Subprocessor shall ensure in each case that access to Customer Personal Data is strictly limited to those individuals who need to know or access the relevant Customer Personal Data, as strictly necessary for the purposes of the Main Agreement, and comply with Applicable Law.

9. Retention and Deletion. Idera may retain Customer Personal Data only for the period of time required for Idera to perform the Services, or such longer period required by Applicable Law, required pursuant to the Main Agreement or requested in writing by Customer.
