English term or phrase: Do not intrude on reasonable expectations of privacy or confidentiality
In the context of a major corporation Code of Ethics, in a chapter concerning the gathering of information about competitors. I have a problem with the verb "intrude" in this context. I understand the meaning but I cannot find an equivalent in French.
Thanks.

French translation:intrusion
Explanation:
I would say "ne faites pas intrusion..."
The word "intrusion" comes from the verb "introduire" but in that context, I don't think that to introduct would be a good choice. Also you could use "Respectez" instead of "ne faites pas intrusion..."

Respecter


Explanation:
Bonjour,
Je confirme que l'emploi du mot "respecter" serait le plus judicieux concernant des individus chargés de rassembler des informations sur des concurrents.

Ne pas vous ingérer sur ...


Explanation:
Robert & Collins gives this verb for the specific context of privacy or the affairs of others. This dictionary gives answers which are about physical intrusion for expressions based on "intrusion". My sources would indicate that this might in fact be less appropriate in your context.
