Clear Secure, Inc. (NYSE: YOU) is a U.S.-based identity technology company that operates a multi-layered secure identity platform under the CLEAR brand, offering both consumer-facing services and business-to-business identity verification solutions. Its flagship consumer product, CLEAR Plus, is a subscription service that provides expedited access through airport security checkpoints, supplemented by a mobile app for enrollment and account management. The companys broader product portfolio spans airport reservation tools, B2B identity verification (CLEAR1), a free mobile digital ID, premium concierge services for frequent travelers, TSA PreCheck enrollment, virtual queuing technology, and a one-click know-your-customer (KYC) offering called Sora ID. Clear Secure has a strategic collaboration with Samsung Electronics America to develop a digital ID solution that allows users to add a U.S. passport to Samsung Wallet. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in New York, Clear Secure went public in mid-2021 and remains a subsidiary of Alclear Investments, LLC.
The company is classified within the GICS Information Technology sector and Application Software sub-industry, reflecting its positioning as a software-driven identity platform rather than a hardware or services firm. Its business model blends recurring subscription revenue (CLEAR Plus) with transaction-based and enterprise licensing streams from partners using its identity verification infrastructure.
