Datos de interés/Datos interesantes
I think the person who wrote that was trying to be very hip. Give me the lowdown, give me the 411, it's all very hip, the way young people speak. I can't think of an equivalent that would preserve the informal register, and even if I did, it would probably be very different in each country or region. What I suggest preserves the meaning within this context.
