There is probabely better way to handle this problem but you may want
to set these in your ~/.gnus file:

(setq user-full-name "User Name") 
(setq user-mail-address "user@example.org")

As Jesper already mentioned: (info "(gnus)Posting Styles").

What kind of information should be hidden?

Which version of Gnus are you using?

These are not Gnus specific variables, so they should go into
`~/.emacs'.  (E.g. they are used by `add-change-log-entry' and many
other Emacs functions.)

See the section "Posting Styles" in the Gnus manual.
