CLEAR provides a subscription-based service that speeds up the identity verification process at security checkpoints, primarily targeting frequent travelers, sports fans, and event-goers. By using biometric technology, such as fingerprints and iris scans, CLEAR allows members to access dedicated lanes at airports, stadiums, and other venues, significantly reducing wait times. Unlike traditional ID checks, CLEAR's touchless verification enhances the customer experience by making entry faster and more efficient. The company differentiates itself from competitors through its partnerships with major airlines, like Delta and United, which enable members to combine their airline status with CLEAR for even quicker access. CLEAR's goal is to streamline the security process while ensuring the highest level of data protection, as evidenced by its SAFETY Act Certification from the Department of Homeland Security, which guarantees that personal information is secure and never sold.
