"Intrude" is similar to "bother" and "disturb" and is interchangeable with them in this context. However, "intrude" isn't always interchangeable with "bother" and "disturb" because sometimes to "intrude" implies that someone has forcefully entered a place. "Disturb" and "bother" do not have this meaning. Ex: She intruded in on our meeting and caused everyone to be distracted. Ex: Sharing personal information with certain companies may be an intrusion of privacy.
