Yeah, it's a MySpace/Friendster thing, not the entire google platform.

Only thing you have to worry about is if you posted or saved content specifically to a Google+ page [vacation photos, memes, shared documents, etc], like if you'd posted it at Facebook.

For instance, AFAICT, I signed up for it when it started, logged in, and never went back once ever. So there's nothing for me to monitor or retrieve.

But as the email points out, you can have Google+ bundle all your personal content and make you a .zip download if you are worried.
