Through cutting edge biometrics and advanced Homeland Security certified data algorithms, CLEAR products guarantee identity and protect travelers and sports fans, while speeding them through security.

CLEAR is continuously extending its platform with new innovations, products, and IP. The Science and Analytics team delivers valuable insights to both internal and external partners via its next generation data platform. Leveraging its capabilities, we work alongside partners to best understand their most pressing data needs then build trusted solutions to support them. Sometimes that solution takes the form of an internal BI dashboard, sometimes delivered as mathematical model in a product feature and yet in other cases we create solutions that give CLEAR differentiated competitive advantage in the marketplace.
