Do magnets affect the NExT?

So I was thinking about whether my implant would be attracted to a magnet, and I gave it a try with my magnetic name tag, and it stuck to my hand. My question is whether that impacts the information stored on it or corrupt the chip in any form.

Any metal will detune an RFID tag, but the amount of detuning depends on proximity. I do think it would be a bad idea to place a magnet near enough to the NExT that it produces pull force on it, since the two will surely migrate until they are sitting snugly next to each other.
