The contact tag is the prefix for several contact:* keys to describe contacts.

Values

You should only add contact information to POIs and not to any private address!

Email-addresses which are only available on a website after solving a captcha, or which are in other ways obfuscated to protect against SPAM-bots should not be tagged in OSM.
