Our members trust us to provide frictionless experiences, to keep your data safe and to protect your privacy, and we're obsessed with delivering on that promise. Importantly, we will never sell or rent your personal information.

According to Clear's official privacy policy and corporate statements in 2026, the company does not sell your personal data to third parties. Clear's business model is based on "Identity-as-a-Service," where users pay a subscription fee to use their biometric data (iris scans and fingerprints) to expedite security at airports and stadiums. Selling this sensitive biological data would be a catastrophic breach of trust and a significant legal liability. Instead, Clear uses your data to verify your identity with partners—such as the TSA or specific sports venues—to grant you access to "Fast Lanes." They may share non-sensitive "usage data" with partners for operational reasons (e.g., telling an airline that you have arrived at the airport), but they do not monetize your biometrics. However, like any tech company, they do collect data for marketing their own services and improving their platform. For privacy-conscious travelers, it is worth noting that while they don't "sell" the data, they are a private entity, and your data is stored in their proprietary cloud; if you ever cancel your membership, you can request that they permanently delete your biometric profile from their systems.
