I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'information' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for low-down that I've seen before include "Mean, unfair" , "Info (slang) - dishonourable" , "Inside information - mean (7;3-4)" , "Inside story" , "Data - base" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
