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. The service allows members to use dedicated lanes at airports, stadiums, and other venues, significantly reducing wait times. CLEAR utilizes biometric technology, such as fingerprints and iris scans, for touchless ID verification, replacing traditional identification methods. This approach not only enhances the speed of the security process but also ensures a safer experience for users. Unlike its competitors, CLEAR emphasizes data security, being SAFETY Act Certified by the Department of Homeland Security, which assures users that their personal information is protected and not sold. The company's goal is to provide a convenient and efficient way for individuals to navigate security checks while maintaining a strong commitment to data protection.
