According to Tolkien, the Three Rings did not directly have his taint on them. Sauron could only control those rings (and their wearers) if he had the One Ring. Unlike the other Rings, the Three gave power to build, understand, and heal, not to control or conquer.

When the One Ring was destroyed, the Three Rings became powerless, and the things wrought with them failed. The Rings were taken to the West with the Last Riding of their Keepers at the end of the Third Age.
