النص (أو الحروف) المكتوب (أو المطبوع) بحجم صغير


Explanation:
I prefer to use "النص المكتوب بحجم صغير" to "النص المكتوب بحروف صغيرة"; as the second suggestion may be misunderstood to mean: "text written in lowercase letters" (not "UPPERCASE LETTERS").

كتابة مصغرة / تفاصيل دقيقة


Explanation:
أعتقد أن المعنى القريب هنا هو فعلا الكتابة المصغرة ولكن للسياق معنى أبعد وهو تفاصيل المنتج أو السلعة

معلومات مخفية/مخبأة - حقائق معمّاة


Explanation:
this information is deliberately written in a way to make it difficult for clients/customers to access it. When it backfires and clients complain, claiming they were not privy to this information/facts, the manufacturer (e.g.) comes up with statements like: "did you read the fine print?" or "it's all in the fine print".
