I would like to integrate in the generated PDF's some personal information.
What would be the best way to do this?

I use

\setupinteraction
[state=start,
title={My Book},
author={Just Me},
subtitle={(no way)},
keywords={cool}
]

There probably are more options...

Do you mean like a mailmerge file?

I tried it and it works. Only one thing: when the variables are not set
(forgot the environment parameter, file not correctly set, ...) I would like
to set default values. How would I do that?

For who likes to something along the same lines: I attached a BASH script
that generates all the PDF's based on .per files. You call the script with:
    compileContextPersonalised.sh <TEX_FILE>

One 'problem': for every generated personalised PDF, there is also a log and
tuo file. But I am using --purgeall. So why are they there?

%\enablemode[variables]

\startmode[variables]
\setvariables
  [test]
  [one=One,
   two=Two]
\stopmode

\starttext
\doifelsevariable{test}{one}{1: \getvariable{test}{one}}{??}\par
\doifelsevariable{test}{two}{2: \getvariable{test}{two}}{??}
\stoptext

Works. I use:
\doifelsevariable{personalise}{completeName}{}{
  \setvariables[personalise][
    completeName=Cecil Westerhof,
    .
    .
    .
  ]
}
