The service allows members to use dedicated lanes at airports, stadiums, and other venues, significantly reducing wait times. CLEAR uses biometric technology, such as fingerprints and iris scans, to provide touchless ID verification, replacing traditional identification methods. Unlike its competitors, CLEAR operates on a subscription-based model, where customers pay a membership fee for quicker access, and it partners with major airlines to enhance the user experience. The company's goal is to streamline security processes while ensuring data protection, as evidenced by its SAFETY Act Certification from the Department of Homeland Security.
