Omitting the word 'that'

It seems that she is new here.
It seems she is new here.

I think that she is new here.
I think she is new here.

Is omitting the word 'that' in either of these cases considered grammatically incorrect?
I'm a native English speaker, and when hearing these sentences I don't find this to be wrong, but I'm unsure if there is a grammatical convention about this.
