External Storage

In July 2008, Clear had an unencrypted lap top stolen at the San Francisco airport. The lap top was found several days later in the same room it disappeared from, but due to this mishap the TSA suspended Clear's enrollment process. The company was advised to ceases the use of any unencrypted computers and secures all computers until encryption was installed. While Clear would not advise us of their external data storage facilities or encryption process, they did emphasis to the researchers that the meet or exceed any regulations put forth by the U.S. Government. They take data security seriously, and most information is encrypted twice. Clear officials did advise that their servers are backed up several times during the day and that personal information data was kept at external storage facilities for security and safety purposes.
