         3 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the control unit stores data including the received destination for the transmission destination in a storage device at least according to the determination by the determination unit that the user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus through the login unit and who has been logging in to the image processing apparatus at the timing of receiving the destination does not match the user who uses the mobile terminal, and   wherein the data transmission to the received destination for the transmission destination based on the data stored in the storage device is performed on condition that a plurality of user operations has been performed.   
     
     
         4 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of user operations includes at least a user operation for logging in to the image processing apparatus through the login unit and a user instruction for executing a job related to the data transmission to the received destination for the transmission destination. 
     
     
         5 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one hardware processor further acts as:
 a transmission unit configured to transmit data based on image data obtained by scanning the document by the scanner device to the received destination for the transmission destination according to reception of a user operation for performing the data transmission to the received destination for the transmission destination.   
     
     
         6 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one hardware processor further acts as:
 a display unit configured to display, on an operation unit, a setting screen for transmitting a scanned document to the received destination for the transmission destination at least according to the determination by the determination unit that the user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus through the login unit and who has been logging in to the image processing apparatus at the timing of receiving the destination matches the user who uses the mobile terminal; and   a transmission unit configured to transmit data based on image data obtained by scanning the document by the scanner device to the received destination for the transmission destination according to reception of a user operation for performing the data transmission to the received destination for the transmission destination while the setting screen is displayed on the operation unit.   
     
     
         7 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the setting screen is a screen on which a scan setting and a transmission setting are changeable. 
     
     
         8 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the reception unit further receives, from the information processing apparatus, scan settings including at least a setting related to a size of a document to be scanned and a setting related to a scanning resolution. 
     
     
         9 . The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the reception unit receives the destination and the user information from the information processing apparatus via wireless communication. 
     
     
         10 . An image processing method to be executed by an image processing apparatus that is capable of communicating with an information processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus having a scanner device that scans a document to generate image data, the image processing method comprising:
 authenticating a user of the image processing apparatus, and allowing the user to log in to the image processing apparatus in accordance with success in authenticating the user, wherein in a case where the user logs in to the image processing apparatus, the image processing apparatus is shifted into a state where the user is able to use a function of the image processing apparatus via an operation unit;   receiving, from the information processing apparatus, a destination for a transmission destination of data obtained by scanning the document by the scanner device, and user information related to a user who operates the information processing apparatus;   determining, based on at least the received user information, whether the user who has logged in to the image processing apparatus and who has been logging in to the image processing apparatus at timing of receiving the destination matches a user who uses a mobile terminal; and   controlling to perform different processing according to a determination in the determining.
