1. An image processing circuitry configured to:
when a user is taking an image using an imaging device, automatically obtain biometric feature data being indicative of at least one biometric feature of the user of the imaging device from sensors integrated into a button of the imaging device used for taking an image, wherein the at least one biometric feature is based on a fingerprint scan;
after a predetermined imaging time period, automatically obtain biometric feature data being indicative of at least one biometric feature of a user of the imaging device when the user is taking an image using the imaging device from the sensors integrated into the button;
obtain image data from the imaging device used by the user; and
associate the biometric feature data with the image data for verifying the user for each image taken.
