Could a magnet damage my MacBook Pro?

I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I've purchased a notebook that has a pair of magnets in it to keep it closed:

I'm worried about how this might affect my MacBook if carried in the same bag. Could it cause any damage at all?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Hi p_r4ch3l,

I understand that you've purchased a notebook that has magnets built into it, and are concerned about its potential affect on your MacBook Pro. You may find the following article useful:
