Queries on Shield encryption feature of SF

Hi

I have some concerns regarding the Shield encryption feature of SF:

1. If some fields of Contact object are encrypted and we remove the user from the permission set which assigns the Shield encryption feature, do traces of encryption still remain at the database level?

2. If some fields of Contact object are encrypted and we uncheck the permission from the permission set which assigns the Shield encryption feature, do traces of encryption still remain at the database level?

3. On checking the result of the isEncrypted() function on the fields of the Contact object, the fields still show up as being encrypted in both the scenarios. Why is it so?

Thanks and Regards,
Lakshya
